What is EPA Doing? Food Recovery Challenge

The Food Recovery Challenge Benefits to participants: Improve your bottom line Support your community Reduce your environmental footprint The Challenge encourages organizations to: Change practices to purchase leaner to minimize waste Divert surplus food away from landfills to local hunger relief organizations Compost food scraps

Challenge Accomplishments Over 800 participants - ranging from your local corner store to one of the largest hotel chains. Our participants prevented over 600,000 tons of wasted food from going to landfills this year. Challenge participants dramatically increased source reduction – from just 7,00 tons in 2013 to 85,000 tons in 2014.
